Ready API 3.3.1 - messed date up

I just updated my SoapUI to 3.3.1 and now my Groovy dates don't work.  I keep getting errors "groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: java.util.Date.format() ..."  Has anyone else...

    Using Java 8 or more?

     

    Please check the below:

     

    log.info java.time.LocalDateTime.now().format(java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern('yyyy-MM-dd'))

     

    In xml

     

    <!-- assuming date is element; change as you needed-->
<date>${= java.time.LocalDateTime.now().format(java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern('yyyy-MM-dd'))}</date>

a piece of code in groovy which was working fine up to ReadyAPI version 3.2.5

Once I have updated the version, the format () function stopped working.

Can anyone suggest how I can manipulate the date? Like, I want a random date after 6 months from today.

 

Upto ReadyAPI 3.2.5 I have used - 

use(TimeCategory) {
def date = (today + (new Random().nextInt(12)).months).format(yyyy-MM-DD).toString());

}

But the format () function not working in ReadyAPi 3.3.1. Any leads would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance!

    Hi API_Guy 

     

    Can you please try below snippet

     

    import groovy.time.TimeCategory
    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat

     

    use(TimeCategory) {
    date = ((new Date() + (new Random().nextInt(12)).months))
    sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd")
    newDate = sdf.format(date)
    }

     

    Thanks!

      Thanks much, PrathapR.

      It worked for me and it was a great help! thanks again.

      khanchett this is how you can manipulate the date by adding or subtracting a day/month as well

      date = ((new Date() +  3.months). you can give a try. It worked for me.
